How to save precious TIME when you sell patterns

If you sell e-patterns and mail them to customers, how much time collectively do you think you spend in a week e-mailing the files to them? How much time in a month? Sending a e-pattern via e-mail is not a hard task but it does take a few minutes to do. Those minutes add up.

More so than that, how often are you checking your e-mail to see if you have a new e-pattern sale? That takes time as well.

If your not automating, your wasting the one resource that is limited to you....YOUR TIME. By automating the process you not only satisfy the customers desire for instant gratification but you free yourself from constantly being in front of the computer. What could you be doing instead? Creating? Designing more patterns? Ofcourse!

This is why I wanted to share with you the service of IPM Pro. IPM Pro, allows you to sell your e-patterns or any type of downloadable item in a instant fashion. No more e-mailing the file to customers, no more constantly checking your inbox. If your on vacation....NO WORRIES. Let IPM Pro handle those sales for you.

What IPM Pro does is it allows you to create a automated e-pattern (or any file type) business. The customer purchases your pattern, pays for it and then downloads it instantly after payment. How cool is that!?

I don't know about you, but my time is precious and I will NEVER go back to solely e-mailing e-patterns. Ofcourse on occasion I do for customers that purchase them via email orders, etc., but on a whole IPM Pro has saved me a bunch of much needed extra time.

Check it out for yourself. The value of this type of service is fantastic and you can automate your e-pattern business starting at a low $5 a month.

New Age for Patterns

It's time to welcome in a new age for patterns and I'm ready to do so with open arms.

Remember when having to deal with a pattern meant all the pattern pieces came printed on tissue paper? They'd tear on the corners and where you'd pin them to the fabric. UGHHHH! That era of pattern confusion has now come to an end with the patterns you can find at Patternmart.

With a few simple clicks of a button on your keyboard, you can be instantly downloading a pattern to your computer.Place what type of paper you wish to print out on and let the fun begin.You can even save some time by printing the pattern pieces onto cardstock!They'll be ready to cut and use right away.

How convenient and simple is that? What's stopping you?Go over and order some new patterns for your collection and start sewing something wonderful for Spring today! My collection is growing already! heehee There are over 300 patterns to chose from so far and more being added all the time.....there must be something that catches your eye!

What is an E-pattern?

If you've never heard of an E-pattern boy are you in for a treat! If your an advid pattern buyer or collector with hordes of patterns (you know who you are (=), E-patterns are another great way to purchase (and for some...collect) craft patterns.

So what is an E-pattern?

An E-pattern is a pattern that you can purchase online and get it sent to you via e-mail. It's a great way to purchase patterns and there's no need to wait on it to arrive in the mail. This is especially helpful for customers that live overseas. Instead of waiting sometimes several weeks to get their pattern, they can have it within 24 hours via e-mail.

So what is an I-pattern™?

I-patterns™ is a concept created by www.PatternMart.com where craft patterns can be downloaded instantly. No more waiting for the mailman, no more waiting for the designer to e-mail you the pattern but rather you can purchase your pattern and download it instantly!

So where can I get an I-pattern™?

Come on over to www.PatternMart.com and browse 300 + patterns available for downloading instantly! We have a large selection of Primitive patterns, doll patterns, Victorian style patterns, Stitchery patterns, Quilt patterns, Painting patterns, Raggedy doll patterns, Kits, Craft Supplies and more!

What are the benefits to I-patterns™?

The great thing besides what I've already mentioned about getting your pattern instantly, is that it prints just the same as what you would get in the mail. If you collect patterns and prefer to have them bagged so you can catalog them. Simply print, fold and put the pattern in a pattern bag. It's as easy as that. www.PatternMart.com also offers mailed patterns if you prefer. Also I-patterns™ are generally less costly than mailed patterns. With I-patterns™ and E-patterns the benefits are that as the designer you use less printing paper, ink, pattern bags and save time. Also if you need to mail out a pattern, simply print it, bag it and put in an envelope and voila, just mail it out to your customer. Customers benefit by being able to have instant gratification when they order a instant pattern. Plus they benefit by the lower cost of instant patterns.

What if I'm a Pattern Designer and want to offer I-patterns™?

If you are a designer and are interested in offering your patterns, you will need to put them in PDF format. If you don't know how to do this (and it can be tricky) we have a great source who can convert your patterns for you. Contact Deena of www.EweNmeprintables.com and she would be happy to discuss your needs for converting your patterns. Not only is Deena very reasonably priced but she has an incredible talent for doing the layout design of the PDF patterns.

Where can I sell my E-patterns or I-patterns™?

You can offer E-patterns on your website, ebay, online marketplaces, and/or print them for selling wholesale to retail stores. www.PatternMart.com is the exclusive and premiere place to sell your intant downloadable patterns. If you would like to offer your customers a place where they can purchase your patterns and get them instantly, then come over and sign up for a yearly membership! We have a lot of benefits and you will be able to access your own Administrative area to upload your information and patterns. Once your patterns are all uploaded, that's it! You don't have to do anything else. Let www.PatternMart.com do the work for you and you can simply check your inbox for orders that have been completed!!
